À propos de ce contenu audio

 In Sinclair Lewis groundbreaking novel, Main Street, we follow the journey of Carol Milford, a bright and ambitious young woman armed with a college education and a passion for progress. A self-sufficient librarian in St. Paul, she is swept off her feet by Will Kennicott, a country doctor who persuades her to leave her urban life behind for the rural town of Gopher Prairie. With dreams of transforming the town into a hub of art, culture, and child welfare, Carol is met with the harsh realities of small-town attitudes, ignorance, and bigotry that gradually stifle her spirit. First published in 1920, this seminal work not only marked the emergence of Lewis as a literary force but also paved the way for his later achievement as the first American Nobel laureate in literature in 1930. - Summary by Mark NelsonCopyright Culture and Heritage classics
